Budget and the Economy - City and State
Mayor Grant thanks the people who worked so hard at the State House for getting the City and School aid.
(By Councilman Robert D. Sullivan)
1. Political Signs
Mr. Sullivan asks that Sheila Stringfellow send out a letter to all candidates, asking them to sign a "gentlemen's agreement", in which they will pledge not to put up political signs or pass out literature at the polls. Mr. Larisa says he supports Mr. Sullivan's idea because he did not say he was proposing a ban on political signs or political literature, and the Council would have no objection to telling candidates that they can enter into a "gentlemen's agreement" if they wish to do so. He goes on to say that a ban on political signs shows the power of the incumbency, and it is a step in protecting the incumbent. He says he does not want to prohibit or interfere with the right of his opponent to put up as many signs or pass out as much literature as he wants, in order to get his name out to the community. He says he has no
problem with Mrs. Stringfellow sending out the letter.
2. Public Safety - Police Commendations
Mr. Sullivan speaks on the recent murder in the Riverside section of the City, and presents a commendation to the Police Chief for the police work done on the case.
(By Councilman Joseph S. Larisa, Jr.)
Charter Amendment establishing professional qualifications of City Manager
Mr. Larisa says the present qualifications limit us to an inadequate Manager.
He says his proposal is a compromise of his original proposal, in that it will not be necessary for future applicants to have experience as a City Manager.
Mr. Larisa reads the proposed amendment and puts it in the form of a motion and asks that it be placed on the ballot in November.
The City Manager shall be chosen by the Council, solely on the basis of executive and administrative qualifications, with special reference to prior experience in, or knowledge of, accepted practice with respect to the duties of the office as hereinafter set forth. In addition, the City Manager shall be a graduate of an accredited four year college or university, with a Master's Degree in Public Administration, Business Administration, or a related field.
The City Manager shall have at least three years of actual experience in a management level position in either the public or private sector. Such experience must include positions with responsibility in any of the following areas: Finance, Planning, Personnel, Public Works, Public Safety, Economic Development, or their equivalent. At the time of appointment, the City Manager need not be a resident of the City or State, but during the tenure of office, the City Manager shall reside within the City.
Mr. Lynch seconds the motion.
After receiving Council consent, Mark A. Manchino, 161 Mercer Street, is sworn in and addresses the Council on the issue.
Mr. Conley says because we are a Home Rule Charter City, we do not need legislative approval for the proposed Charter amendment. He informs the Council that the Secretary of State's Office will need the Certified Resolution by September 16, 1994 with the wording to be placed on the Ballot. He suggests that the language be approved tonight and the Resolution formally appear on the August docket for approval.
Mr. Larisa and Mr. Lynch amend the motion to include the resolution.
Peter Midgley, 78 Smith Street, is present and sworn and also addresses the Council on the issue. Mr. Midgley asks Mr. Larisa to amend his motion to include a Business Management degree. Mr. Larisa says that the wording "related field" would take care of this.
Harold L. Gerstein, 12 Rhodes Avenue, is present and sworn. He says all of this discussion is out of order.
